   Let me not to the marriage of true minds
   Admit impediments. Love is not love
   Which alters when it alteration finds,
   Or bends with the remover to remove:

   Semnificație: True love unites faithful minds and does not change when circumstances change or a partner pulls away.

What does the opening of Sonnet 116 mean?

The speaker refuses to recognize obstacles to a union of faithful minds. He defines genuine love as constant, even when circumstances change or one partner withdraws.

Why does Shakespeare compare love to a star in Sonnet 116?

A navigation star helps sailors find their way. Similarly, love provides reliable guidance through uncertainty; its position may be measurable, but its true value is beyond calculation.
